Xircom CE2 PCMCIA Network Adapter Card Problems

Last reviewed: September 12, 1995
Article ID: Q134488

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you insert a Xircom CE2 PCMCIA network adapter card, the card may not work and the computer may not be connected to the network. When this occurs, your computer may stop responding (hang).

CAUSE

This network adapter may require a real-mode enabler or different MAC drivers to work.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, load the real-mode card and socket services drivers in the Config.sys file.

Although the actual drivers that are required vary from one system to another, they typically look like:

   device=cs.exe
   device=sscirrus.exe

MORE INFORMATION

There have been cases in which the NDIS 2 drivers cause the computer to hang. In these cases, the real-mode network drivers should be replaced with the Novell NetWare ODI/NETX or VLM drivers.
